East Rutherford council introduces first‑reading bamboo ordinance
Summary
At its July 21 meeting the East Rutherford Mayor and Council introduced Ordinance 2026‑15, a first reading that would regulate the planting, growing and cultivating of bamboo in the borough; the measure passed 1st reading and was introduced with unanimous council support.
Mayor Lahullier introduced Ordinance 2026‑15 at the July 21 Mayor and Council meeting, describing it as a new local regulation aimed at managing the planting, growth and spread of bamboo within borough limits. The ordinance was presented for its first reading and introduction and the council voted unanimously to advance it.

Supporters at the dais said the measure stems from concerns about bamboo spreading into neighboring lots and damaging sidewalks and infrastructure.

No public hearing on the ordinance occurred at the July 21 session.
